Jon,

Very nice capture. I like how the colors of his visor stand out against the dark areas in the shot. Did you use a filter to get the effect? This looks like the same gentlemen from one of your previous posts.

Hi,

Thanks very much. Actually, the filter-like effect is some post processing in PS.
This is the same gentleman - you're right, he is a local character.

Best,
Jon

Very unique shot.
I like how you can see the character in his face.
I also like the lighting as it really draws the viewer into what is important in the shot.

Bonita pero hay demasiada luz de fondo, me parece.

Clyde,

Weigh in on this if you have time - I really have mixed feelings about this effect - half the time I love it, and half the time I think it's really stupid and ultimately distracts greatly from the face of the subject. On the other hand, if I see it as something other than a traditional portrait...maybe it works on some level. Feel free to comment.

Later,
jon

i like this shot, nice use of light
very interesting face

imo there's too much visible of the back of his head. It just isn't a 'en profile' shot, a couple of degrees counter-clockwise turning of the man and it would be all o.k.

Awesome!
